Default 997.2 Cup - what is the widest front wheel you can fit

Anyone have experience with this?

Stock is 9.5" but I have "heard" that a 10.5" will fit.

Anyone with experience and offset numbers?

The problem with 10in plus size is inner guard clearance through the
turning radius. To make it worse the larger width tires comes with small increases in
diameter.I have just fitted 2" outers and ordered 27/65 michelin tires.
Since then I have test fitted a Pirelli 285 645 on a 10" rim and have clearance issues. Long and short is that any thing larger than 10" will be hard to fit.

Will 10" fit without rubbing with a less than 285?

We have fit an 18x10.25 BBS Monobloc wheel under the front of a 2010+ Cup with a WC Spec Pirelli 275 slick.
